My apartment is currently up for rent so I've been using Kijiji, craigslist, UsedOttawa, and Carleton U off-campus housing sites like there's no tomorrow. The first thing I found is that we're actually getting a lot of Women asking about the place. Probably more Women than Men actually.
But when searching for a roommate, you come by a lot of weird people and sift them out quickly as they just jump out and say "Hey, I'm stupid!" or "Hey, I'm weird and smelly!" or in this case "H3y, how u be? 2moro wemeetz?k awsm talk l8r yo"
Here is the email:

and my reply:
Hello,
That message is pretty hard to read. Your starting which school in January? January 2009 right, not 2008? Otherwise you would have started already. You will be in Ottawa tomorrow for a job interview? I am not available to show the place tomorrow, sorry. I will be showing the place all day Saturday. So come by then if you can... not even sure where you are living right now so I don't know how out of your way it is.
Might want to work on your typing, spelling, and grammar. Most people just delete messages that are like the one you just sent me. I know I was tempted to. Telling me your name, age, and what you do would be a great start for inquiring about a room for rent.
Cheers,
Warren
